GQWE 8i NATiQN TiJQim Application filed September 16, 1905 Be it known that l, .irwis HANKS Lori DON, a citizen of the "United States, residing at Ci y, in the count of Jackson and State of li' 'ssouri, have invented. certs-in new and useful improvements in Con'ibinstion- Tools, of which the following is e specification.

This invention relates to tools; and it has for its object to provide St tool of this character that will have its'oomponents arranged in such it manner that although a maximum number of instru ments is provided ooinpsot tool is pro- (inc-ed.

Other and. int the following dos particularly point claim.

In the drawings, lli ure i is a perspective "view of one enihoiiiiiiont' oi my invention. Fig. 2 is 9. section on the line 2- 2, Fig. l; and Fig. 3 is a. dc oil sicle elevation of another emhodin oi my invention.

Referring on 1+ particularly to the drawings, A and P- iioste ii pair of levers each having (.ll, mos-(l huh 1, 21. long howed arm 2 on one saltof the hub. and it short arm 3 on the opposite side oi the hub, the levers being pivoted together by it pivot-pin 4, which passes oei'itrally through the clisl shaped hubs. Errol: hub provides on opposite points of its periphery with Wirereoeiving notches 5 and 6, the zitliziooi'it notches on the two hubs registerii'ig when the levers are in a slightlywpeii position, shown in Fig. 1. After a wire is inserted in the registering notol 3s and the lovers arcclosed it severenoo of the wire takes place, due to the sharp corners of the notches. One of the disks is provided with an eccentricallypositioned tapered polygonal l)ii-(' })lllll{ 7, which located neorertho longorerm, sotlial the ends of the short arms will he a great distance therefrom than if it were eci'iti'itlij positioned, and serve as homillis when n. hit is inserted in the opening.

The opposeil laws ol' th short oriiis of the lovers are provid d with ion! instruments; first, it mitof oiztter-liloilos 3%, which are positionml nearer-it the pivots so that have greater power; second, :1 ]llp(%\ ,'ll=lll composed of o-iirvod :iml opoi:sitoly-iiotv.iozi Walls fl: 'tl'ilfi'l, o. nut-\i'roimli I iornioil ll Xi-sliztp ul notches it) new the omls ol' the :ription and. will he more her ohiects will appear in L ed out in the appended combination they will -pecifieation of Letters Patent.

Serial lloi 278,725.

'nort arms, being located away from the pivot to permit the engagement of nuts of v rious sizes, and, fourth, nippers 11 at the ends of the short arms, the outer wells of the nut-Wrench merging into the nippers end the Rippers being notched at 12- to engage the heed of tacks, staples, and the like. On its outer face one of the short arms is provided with a hammer-face 1 While the outer face of the other short arm may be provided with a hetohetl, as shown in 1., or a claw 16, as shown in Fig.

The opposeci faces oi the longer bowed.

arms are provided near their inner ends with teeth 13, the teeth onv one face being (lisposed in a direction opposite to the teeth on the other time, forming on alligator-v-zrenoh. By positioning these teeth near the inner ends of {L pair of bowed arms I secure 9. great leverage and am enabled to grip objects of various sizes, owingto the jaws grliiluslly in creasing in width. The outer endsolthelong arms are spaced from one another when in it closed position, so its to permit the use of the staple-puller 57, formed on the end of one of the long arms. A short distance from the end of the arm carrying the stzipleqmller is a projection 18, which sets as 21 fulcrum for the said puller. The outer end of the other long ftlill is flattened into it screw-driver 19., which projects beyond the staple-puller. Thus it will he that both the staplepuller and the screw-driver may lie employed While the levers are in their closed positions.

To hold the levers closed, one of the long s-rms carries near its end it pivoted lzttoh 2i and is recessed at 23 to provide a pocket for the latch, so that it will not he in the way when the tool is opened. The fulcrum or projeotion 18 is hollowed, as at 22, and con. tains a latch-her 23, with which the latoh 26 engages.

It will be seen that the Latch is positioned away 'lron'i the ends of the long arms 2 and between the opposed faces, thereby prevent ing its lHtQfi (Til'lfi with the use of any of the instruments in either the open or closed position of the tool.

liming; thus desoriliml my invention, what l. claim now therein, and desire to secure by Letters lzttoi'it, is

uomhlinilj-ion--tool comprising a pair of gfmtod arms ooi'istruoted to diverge at one side ol their pivot, coi'i'perntiiig sets of teeth on such divorgont portions oi said arms,

means for detsehsbly locking said arms against rotation about their pivot, whereby said eoiipersting sets of teeth are rigidly locked in at an unvarying angle to constitute an alligator-Wrench, and wreneh-surf aees ,on said arms at the side of their pivot opposite said alligator-Wrench and ceperating to constitute a wrench when said detachable lock- I i ig means is released,
